Started tracking my expenses for the first time. This was a mistake.

Started tracking my expenses for the first time. This was a mistake.

Downloaded an expense tracker with main character energy ready to finally "understand my finances".

Cut to me now, staring at 50 transactions in the first week of July alone, most of them from Swiggy and Zomato, going through the five stages of grief in real time. Denial (this can't be right), anger (why did I order food), depression ( again why do I order in so much) acceptance (unavailable).

Ignorance really was bliss. I used to just vibe through the month. Now I open the app and my own spending judges me before I've even had coffee.

10/10 experience. Please send help.
